Thanks, I choose alloy rims and canti's over steel and drums because it it really hard to get a good set of Schwinn rims, Union brakes and Uniroyal Nobby. (all I got was a NOS Nobby, never found another)How were the first canti's you used compared to the drums? Weight wise it improved a lot with alloy and canti's, but what about breaking power?

The cantilevers didn't fade as much on the long downhills-the drum brakes would build up too much heat inside and pretty soon your hand would go numb from pulling on the lever to little or no effect...
